Terry hated arriving late. Hated it with a passion. But he had to admit, this morning it had its advantages. For one thing, there was the reason why they were late. He could still recall the warmth of Nick’s bed, the time spent holding each other, kissing and…

Uh-uh. Not now. Time enough for that later. He could replay it all when practice was over, when he had time to sit and reflect that it really had happened. Because it still felt like a dream.

He and Nick had barely made it onto the college playing field before the coach blew his whistle to get the team’s attention. Having a Saturday morning practice was unusual, but it was their bye week, they had a big game coming up, and their performance in the previous game had left a lot to be desired. So it wasn’t surprising that the coach had turned up with a schedule.

Terry didn’t mind that. The college was in the running to win the championship, and only a few crucial games remained. Everyone had to give their best if they were going to do this. The coach had worked out several plays, and it was obvious they weren’t going to be out of there until he was happy with them. He ran them ragged, and it wasn’t long before the whining started.

“Suck it up, boys,” Coach bellowed as they dropped onto the grass for a break. “Don’t blame me if you’re playing with a sore head and a suede tongue. That’s what you get for partying the night before a practice. And don’t even think about complaining, because you were the ones who wanted this practice in the first place.”

“Coach, how’d you know about the party?” Ty Wheeler asked, before someone jabbed their elbow into his ribs.

Coach let out a raucous laugh. “Seriously? You oughta know by now, Wheeler, I see everything. Including those who almost didn’t make it on time. Yeah, Prentiss, Byers, I’m talking to you.”

Nick caught Terry’s gaze and smirked.

“They got an excuse,” Jake said with a grin. “Haven’t you, boys?”

Terry didn’t give Jake the satisfaction of even registering the remark.

“And when you dainty prima donnas are ready, we still have half an hour to go.” Loud groans greeted his words, and he cackled. “You wanna win, right? So get your asses into gear, and show me what you’ve got.” Coach gave them an evil grin. “Just imagine all the alcohol pouring out of you in your sweat. Think of it as a detox.” He gave his whistle a savage blow. “Move it, boys.”

“Yeah, that includes you ladies too,” Jake added, smirking at Terry and Nick.

Coach stilled, his gaze narrowed. “You got something to say, Kowalski?”

“Not me, Coach.” Jake looked him in the eye.

“Glad to hear it. Now quit running your mouth off and show me why I need to keep you on this team.”

That was enough to shut Jake up.

For the next thirty minutes, Terry forgot about everything but the practice. He sloughed off his fears and doubts, and concentrated on following the coach’s instructions.
